Into the Mystic (Singer-Johnny Rivers)

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Everybody talked as one
As we sailed into the mystic

Hark now, hear the sailors' cry
Feel the earth and see the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic, ah yeah

When that fog horn blows
I will be coming home, oh yeah
When that fog horn whistle blows now
I can hear it, I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float
Into the mystic, oh now, yeah

When that fog horn blows
You know I will be coming home, yeah, yeah
And when that fog horn whistle blows, I can hear it
I can hear it, you know I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
As together we will float into the mystic
Come on girl, yeah

Umm, yeah
Let your soul and spirit fly now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We were born before the wind

Wikipedia states:

"Into the Mystic" is a song written by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison and featured on his 1970 album Moondance. It was also included on Morrison's 1974 live album, It's Too Late To Stop Now.

The lyrics are about a spiritual quest, typical of Morrison's work. "Bass thrums like a boat in motion, and the song comes back to water as a means of magical transformation." "At the very end Van sings: too late to stop now, suggesting that the song also describes an act of love." (This phrase would become a key point of many live concerts.) Compared to "Yesterday" by The Beatles, it has been described as "another song where the music and the words seem to have been born together, at the same time, to make one perfectly formed, complete artistic element.“

Morrison remarked on the song and how its use of homophones lent it alternate meanings: "'Into the Mystic' is another one like 'Madame Joy' and 'Brown Eyed Girl'. Originally I wrote it as 'Into the Misty'. But later I thought that it had something of an ethereal feeling to it so I called it 'Into the Mystic'. That song is kind of funny because when it came time to send the lyrics in WB Music, I couldn't figure out what to send them. Because really the song has two sets of lyrics. For example, there's 'I was born before the wind' and 'I was borne before the wind', and also 'Also younger than the son, Ere the bonny boat was one' and 'All so younger than the son, Ere the bonny boat was won' ... I guess the song is just about being part of the universe."

"Into the Mystic" is No. 474 on the list of Rolling Stone magazine's 2010 feature, The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and was listed as No. 42 on The 885 Essential XPN Songs compiled in 2008 by WXPN from listener's votes. According to a BBC survey, because of this song’s cooling, soothing vibe, this is one of the most popular songs for surgeons to listen to while performing operations. Singer-songwriter Elvis Costello has identified this song as one of his favourite songs on Moondance, one of his 500 essential albums.
